BIO-ENERGY
The opportunity
The strategic shift by Governments throughout the world in the support of renewable energy sources as a result of international
agreements such as Kyoto, presents opportunities for
developing economies to unlock the potential within their natural
resource base to establish bio-energy projects. The projects
can contribute positively to energy supply growth, stability of
grid operation and, through the production of fuel ethanol, the
use of sustainable complementary fuels for the transport sector.
The commercial challenge
Increasingly, governments and corporations are seeking
commercial solutions to their future energy requirements through
the use of sustainable natural resources. The challenge for both
public and private utilities, Independent Power Producers (IPPs)
and fuel suppliers lies in the development of commercially
competitive renewable energy business models of a sufficient
scale to replace or augment finite fossil fuel energy sources. The
development of such commercially competitive and attractive
projects often has to occur within complex and transitional energy
markets. This is where Booker Tate with its global business
experience in developing flagship projects is able to deliver
considerable value, throughout the complete project
development and business operational cycle.
Sector development capability
Booker Tate has unrivalled experience in the development and
operation of large scale agribusinesses, particularly in sugar. It is
able to analyse, plan, develop and most importantly manage the
implementation of commercial biomass based energy projects
on behalf of its clients, often working in partnership with energy
companies.
Booker Tate is able to draw upon its extensive experience of
biomass production, harvesting, logistics, fuel-stock
management, co-generation energy production and ethanol
production within the sugar sector and leverage this knowledge
to apply to other fuel sources and production systems. Based
on this experience and the company’s on-going commitment to
innovation through the critical examination of potential fuel
sources, technologies and approaches to contracting, Booker
Tate is able to develop and implement robust commercial
business solutions for clients.
Bio-energy is a key sustainable source of energy, right now and
for tomorrow’s world. Booker Tate provides the credibility
your project needs to attract investors and secure off-take
agreements.
